Help Necro Quickstart, Newbie Guide
NOTE: This and other help files are in a much more readable format on

Make sure you have read through 'help newbie' before continuing.
Before choosing Necromancer as your guild, you must first select a race.
Suitable races for a newbie Necro include, but are not limited to:
Sprite, Elf, Thrikhren, Satyr (can not see in the dark), Duck (can not
see in the dark).
Be sure to type 'help race <racename>' when choosing to see all the
plusses and minuses of each race. Note that if you dislike your choice,
as a newbie you can reincarnate (i.e. start over) with no loss of
experience without having to create a new character.
Type 'choose <race name>' to choose your race. When you have chosen a
race, type 'continue' to proceed. Now you must choose your guild. Type
'choose necromancer'.
--- THE BEGINNING ---
When you log in, you will begin at the Church of All Gods inside
ZombieCity. The first thing you should do is to visit Buju. He spends
his days waiting patiently one east of the Church, and has much to offer
you during your travels. Type 'east' or just 'e' and go visit him now,
and he will give you a gift. Good commands to try in his presence are:
'look at stone', 'say help', 'say transport', 'say portal'. Also type
'map' to see the ZombieCity map and your current location.
The next thing you need to do is gain a few levels with the free
experience you have been given. You must advance in two places for each
level you gain. You must go to the Adventurers' Guild and type advance
to raise your 'adventurer level'. You can do this by going one east, one
south from Buju, and typing '7 advance'.
Next you much continue to the Necromancer guild and advance your guild
levels. Go back to Buju (one north, one west) and have him transport you
to the guild by typing 'transport guild'. Once you are there, type '7
advance' and you are now a level 8 necromancer.
Buju will continue to transport you to your guild until you reach level
45. He will also you you the teleport stone, which you can use to get
back to him should you get lost, until you reach 15M total experience,
so make sure you visit him every boot.
Now that you have a few levels, it's time to advance your knowledge in
skills and spells. If you've followed the information so far, you should
be standing in the Necromancer Guild, if not then go there now. To see
what abilities are available to you, try the following commands: 'info
8', 'list spells', 'list skills'.
Now lets get a spell. Of course, everyone must start out small. The more
experience you gain, the better your spells will become. As you can see,
you have begun the game with 30% raise dead. This spell will help you to
summon a necromancer's servant, but first you'll need the key servant
ingredient of one fresh corpse. To get that corpse, we're going to get
the offensive spell 'magic missile'. Spells and skill are trained at 5%
increments.
First read 'help spell magic missile', then study the spell to 50% by
typing '10 study magic missile'. Also train the skill 'essence eye' to
5% by typing 'train essence eye'.
Note that depending on your race, you might not be able to study the
spells or train the skills just this high due to racial limits, or you
might not have enough money. But do not worry. It's time to go kill some
monsters (and earn some money doing it).
